Kanazawa is one of the few Japanese cities of its size to have come through the Second World War untouched, and the old quarters show it. It sits on the Sea of Japan coast, with the Sai and Asano rivers running through it, and was for nearly three hundred years the seat of the Maeda family, the richest feudal lords in Japan after the shogun, who ruled the Kaga domain and spent their wealth on arts and crafts. That legacy survives in gold leaf, silk dyeing, lacquer and ceramics, and in a taste for refined things.
